Donald Trump admits that racially charged comments he made while announcing a run for the White House have hurt his business interests. And he swears he doesn't care.

"For the people that say I’m doing it for my brand—this isn’t good for my brand," the real estate mogul and Republican candidate said Saturday on Fox & Friends. "I think it’s bad for my brand. I don’t care. You know maybe I’m leading in polls, but this is certainly not good. I lose customers. I lose people."
